IPC brings together health and social care, identifying the total amount of money spent on a person so they can have more control over how this money is used for their support, so that it may be spent in new ways. The goal is for this to lead to:

Better quality of life for people with complex needs and their carers, and greater involvement in their care, because it has been designed around their personal needs and circumstances.

Less crises in people’s lives that lead to unplanned hospital and institutional care.

Better integration and quality of care, including better experiences for people and families.

The IPC programme will work with people who have high levels of need across health and social care, including:

people with long term conditions, including frail elderly people at risk of care home admission
